Resource Guru Adds Search and Pinning for Saved Views
Resource Guru has shipped a small but practical improvement to its Schedule views: you can now search through saved views by name and pin your most-used ones to the top of the list. The update went live on 22 May 2026.
What Changed
If your team uses Resource Guru to manage resource scheduling, saved views are one of the main tools for slicing the Schedule — filtering by department, project type, client, or role. The problem, for teams that have built up a long list of views over time, was purely navigational: finding a specific view meant scrolling through an unsorted list.
Two changes address that directly:
- Search bar on the Schedule views list. Type any part of a view name to filter the list instantly and jump to the right view without scrolling.
- Pin to top. Mark any view as a favourite and it stays pinned at the top of the list, so your most-used views are always one click away.
Resource Guru’s Help Center article covers both features with screenshots.
Who Benefits and How Much
It’s worth being direct about scope: this is a quality-of-life update, not a new capability. Resource Guru hasn’t changed how views work, what data they show, or how scheduling logic operates. If you’re evaluating Resource Guru as a tool, this update doesn’t change the product’s core proposition.
That said, the friction it removes is real for a specific type of user. If you’re a planner or resource manager who:
- manages views across multiple departments or clients,
- regularly switches between several different saved configurations, or
- has accumulated a long view list that’s become hard to navigate
— then search and pinning are a genuine time-saver. The people most affected are those whose workflow involves frequent view-switching throughout the day. For a team that relies on two or three views and rarely changes them, the impact is minimal.
Why Small Improvements Like This Matter in Scheduling Tools
Resource scheduling tools live and die by how quickly planners can answer questions: who’s available, when, at what capacity? Any interface friction that adds even a few seconds to that answer — across dozens of decisions per day — adds up. Saved views exist precisely to let planners get to their relevant slice of data fast. A search bar and pin mechanic are the obvious UX solution once a view list grows beyond a handful of entries. The fact that it took this long to ship tells you something about the pace of UI iteration in this category, but the fix is the right one.
Context: Resource Guru as a Tool
Resource Guru is a resource scheduling and capacity planning tool aimed at agencies, professional services teams, and project-based businesses. Its core function is visual resource allocation: who is booked, for what, and when. It’s not a full project management suite — it’s a focused scheduling layer, often used alongside tools like Asana, Jira, or Monday.com rather than replacing them.
The same 22 May 2026 release also shipped additional Gantt chart zoom levels, which is a separate update covering a different part of the interface.
Summary
If you’re a Resource Guru user managing a large set of saved Schedule views, search and pin are worth enabling immediately. If you’re not yet a Resource Guru user, this update isn’t a reason to evaluate it — but it reflects the kind of incremental UI polish that matters for tools you use every day.
